Question about the HIGH PRIESTESS tarot card meaning?What can this card mean regarding a man’s first impression of a woman? Or what he thinks of her the first time he sees her.

thank you!

Suggestion by Daughter of MetisHe sees her as out of his league. Probably a little intimidating. He sees her as someone mysterious and beautiful.

Suggestion by Jane TipperUpon first learning this card I learned it as (Spiritual – Teacher – Friend – Secrets) so I think those are good interpretations for your question.

Also based on various books around my house on the subject….

“The card describes a person who is in touch with reality, who goes with the flow, or who simply knows without knowing.” ~R.T. Kaser

“Queen of the underworld, daughter of the Earth Mother Demeter and guardian of the secrets of the dead.” “…is a seductive and fascinating figure who does not speak of her secrets.” ~Juliet Sharman-Burke and Liz Greene

Comments

Swords in general represent conflict or change, so the 10 would be the full impact of that. It sometimes implies an irreversible resolution. As for the reversed position, personally I don’t use reversals, so you’d have to apply whatever meaning you usually apply to reversals.

Fear of ruin, to such a point that emotional relationship/finances will not work out), ego-hang up, end of problem. Self-pity, doubt, betrayal, mistrust. If next to Ace of Swords, limitations are coming up. Hysteria, it would only take one knife to kill a man, yet this person has ten swords in him, even in his ear.

Divinatory meaning
Upright – Ruin, desolation, disruption, although generally this refers to a group rather than an individual. Sorrow, sudden misfortune, accidents, muggings or personal robbery. There is some cause for optimism; as the lowest point in the cycle, from now on things can only get better the worst is over.

Ill Dignified or Reversed – Only an illusionary lifting of burdens or release from afflictions as suffering will continue. Sometimes death and violent and extreme change. Only temporary good fortune.
